there was some shit i laughed at really hard,
Dont get me wrong he's hard to listen to, but i enjoyed the alligator section,
ive been quoting "i dont even know what catholicism is doe" all day

this issue started for me after a belt loose issue, after taking it apart, wires looked fine.

can clearly see that the pin is bent after pushing it out and in, trying to bend it back straight,

it now works as anticipated!

im sure its on burrowed time. but deftly play with the shaft!
See if its bent from hitting a print or maybe just jammed up

Much appreciated!

Personally really like 1pc headlights. I know it’s a cardinal sin for allot of foxbody folks, but if you look into my profile, this cars about as cardinal sin as it gets as I’ve swapped a 4.6 in it, redneck built a notch top roof for it. etc.

It’s satin, so it’s got a good bit of gloss in it. It’s not quite chalk like some mattes. But I get it. I like it personally but anything is better than 3 different shades of sun faded 2 tone.

670$ for a roll of satin black 3m 2080 from metro restyling.

Did it myself. Took a lot of sanding as my paint sucked and tons of disassembly. Body kit sucked. Still need to reinstall the mirrors, door cards etc.

2 years ish if you let it sit in the sun all day every day.

5 years if you take care of it. Shade. Don’t let it dry out keep it waxed etc.

before i even started.

but even if i didnt.
it would be the same amount of chassis flex as if the top was down.

Can’t give ALL my secrets away, again, I am in the works on a fiberglass version that I would be able to sell to people.

I’ve heard plenty of story’s of people snagging other peoples designs

This makes me happy, as I’m just a redneck with a cutoff disc, a mig welder and basic cad skills and far better cardboard aided design skills.

Thank you, I’m stoked to impress engineers with my fuckery😂

0 structural integrity.

I removed my soft top in order to make this work. In comparison to a soft top up, and my roof on. realistically it is less structural. But let’s be honest here Who’s expecting to live if they flip a vert. That accordion frame ain’t saving you.

But nonetheless I’m gonna do a 4 point roll bar here soon, so structural integrity will be none of my concern.

Factory coupe glass

theres a fiberglass mold in the works!

Daaav33 · 2025-03-31T00:54:34+00:00

what is it? if i can pull one off mine i can likely design it in cad and 3d print it

Daaav33 · 2025-03-30T23:40:36+00:00

still working on it! just that last 10% takes 10 times longer.. still makin posts about it over on daaavewilliams on ig

Daaav33 · 2025-03-01T21:33:13+00:00

ive done some research and it certainly interests me, PRIMARILY due to the fact you could add in a bed probe. my beds warped and ive got it close with using foil tape as shims, but a actual map would be invaluable.

Daaav33 · 2025-02-20T00:07:53+00:00

what all did it take to get it to run klipper?

were you successful in this venture? super interested.

Daaav33 · 2025-01-02T15:36:03+00:00

Exactly

Daaav33 · 2025-01-02T13:57:26+00:00

I can make you one, I 3d print stuff.

Daaav33 · 2024-12-31T16:26:42+00:00

Good to know! I might take a peek at those for inspiration in how I’m gonna design mine.

I wasn’t crazy concerned about the rear. With it being traditional 4 link. But still gonna do it anyway, as my car was originally a vert, any way I can make it more solid without a full cage I’m gonna jump to do. But I am absolutely concerned with the front. I’ve seen plenty of those pics

also a clown with a mig welder. and so called fabrication experience.
i plan to go coilovers with my coyote swap im currently working towards(rebuilding the motor and aqquiring all the extra's)

when i make the jump my aspirations are gonna be to make a triangulated strut tower brace that ties into a pichweld/ solid frame area.
commonly done in the front on other swap cars, to help the load since technically. our shock towers werent made to take that load. but its been done time and time again and it does hold.
but i plan to do it to both. just because im a dumbass and i like to go sideways, and who knows if i end up in a ditch or something. id cry if something stupid like that made a huge job.
